Subject: illegitimacy rates

Question
Paul
I just read an interesting statistic.It was in a back issue of the Globe and Mail,but my son,as luck would have it,used it to start a bonfire.
Apparently,over 70% of all African American births are out of wedlock,the highest rate in the world.
Is this a cultural thing based on African traditions,or is there another reason?
I suspected poverty,but the rates in poor countries eg. Brasil are low.
It's my own suspicion that the breakdown of the traditional family is responsible for many social ills.
I look forward to your thoughts!

Answer
The stats correct. It has nothing to do with poverty.
ANYONE who stays in school, does not have kids without marrage, stay away drugs, booze and crime
can make a good life in the USA. You hear its racism but recent immigrants from Africa are far out pacing African Americans in terms of sucess.
Its started as an unintended consequence of LB Johnson's
Great Society Programs. Basically welfare programs gave benifits to single woman with children, and none married couples with a man in the house. This got agravated by drugs ,
gangs, hip hop gangster culture, removal of stigma for out of wedlock birth etc. Basically you have fathers walking away from thier children. Prior to  1964 out wedlock births were similar between blacks and whites.
Your right the break down of the family causes most the inner city crime problems.
